Option the have thumbnail apply to all files in a directory - leigh_munro - 2007-04-30
With the recent addition of the TV episode support in XBMC i have come across something that i believe is missing from XBMC. Currently all my eppisodes are stored on a central server with the following structure.
--<Series 1>
---Folder.jpg
---<Season 1>
-----Folder.jpg
-----Episode 1.avi
-----Episode 2.avi
I use the scrapers to find the deltails for my movies and episodes but like use the folder.jpg files in my episode directories for my thumbnails. The limitation i have here is that i cant get the folder.jpg to apply to the individual episodes only the folders.
Currently the only way i can achieve this is having a single thumbnail for each file, and this is way too messy espically when 99% of the time all the thubnails for the tv episodes in a single season is going to be the same.
--<Series 1>
---Folder.jpg
---<Season 1>
-----Folder.jpg
-----Episode 1.avi
-----Episode 1.jpg
-----Episode 2.avi
-----Episode 2.jpg
Ive read in a couple of other posts reasons for not having the folder.jpg apply to files within a folder but what i am suggesting is the add a new option to have say a files.jpg and have that used as the thumbnail for all files within a single directory.
--<Series 1>
---Folder.jpg
---<Season 1>
-----Folder.jpg
-----Files.jpg
-----Episode 1.avi
-----Episode 2.avi
Are there any reasons why this would not work, or is there an easier way that i am missing?

episodes have episode thumbs, series have serie thumbs. that's the way it is, and, if left up to me, that's the way it will stay.
